Have to re-indulge myself in one of my favorite songs

Invisible

Artist: Clay Aiken
Year: 2003
Title: Invisible
Print
Correct


What are you doing tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
Are you really alone
Still in your dreams
Why can't I bring you into my life
What would it take to make you see that I'm alive

[Chorus]

If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)

I saw your face in the crowd
I called out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps
Each move that you make
Wish I could be what goes through your mind
Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life

[Chorus]

If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)

I reach out
But you don't even see me
Even when I'm screaming
Baby, you don't hear me
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passing through...

[Repeat Chorus]

If I were Invisible.........

現代科技透視出驚人發現,"蒙娜麗莎"入畫前剛產下第二胎 (路透社) 09月 27日 星期三 12:22AM

路透渥太華電---一位法國美術專家周二稱,達文西(Leonardo da Vinci)16世紀巨作《蒙娜麗莎》的畫中主角,在充當達文西的模特兒之前剛剛生下第二個兒子。

這是一群加拿大科學家利用特殊的紅外線3D掃描技術對畫作上的層層顏料做了透視掃描後所發現。

法國博物館研究與復原中心的默丁(Bruno Mottin)表示,在對安放在巴黎羅浮宮的這幅畫進行了詳細檢視後,他們發現蒙娜麗莎的衣服外還有一層透明的薄紗。

「這種薄紗...在16世紀早期的意大利,是孕婦或剛剛生產的婦女的典型穿戴。這是前所未有的發現,因為這幅名畫一向被認為偏暗,難以檢視,」默丁在記者會上說。

他說:「我們現在可以說,達文西的這幅畫是為了慶祝蒙娜麗莎的次子誕生而作,而且我們可以更精確地說這幅畫創作於1503年。」

畫中帶著一抹淡淡微笑的女子已經確認是麗莎格拉迪尼(Lisa Gherardini),是一位佛羅倫斯商人的妻子,她曾養育了五個孩子。

默丁還說,與多數看法相左的是,蒙娜麗莎並不是讓她的頭髮自然披散,而是戴著一頂無邊軟帽,只有幾束捲髮露在外面。

「眾人總是寫道蒙娜麗莎讓頭髮自由地垂在肩上。這說法讓很多歷史學家十分吃驚,因為在文藝復興時期,通常是年輕女孩或者品行不端的婦女才會讓頭髮隨意披散,」他說。

提供這項掃描技術的加拿大國科會(NRC)專家說,這幅畫很脆弱,但如果得到適當的照料,應該不會承受太大損壞。(完)

Miles or living next door?
(離別與距離)

A good friend of mine that I have known for a decade went to Australia for her college degree. I think the physical distance actually made us closer than we were together back in those years. The physical distance made us write letters to each other (It was an era of expensive IDD that could take up a good fortune!). We write down the words that was harder to come out face to face. The letters were our diaries, the thoughts of the moment, no matter how childish or immature they might be. That was when we were miles away.

However we were actually further from each other even though we were situated in the same city, riding on the same MTR, and the phone bill is so minimal; until she would be miles away this time. We  chatted for so long when we met, we talked about everything we could touch on, we laughed loudly and ignored those who think we were just couple crazy dudes.

Yet, we wait till we had to depart from each other for years to gather together when we were just ''living next door'' all this time. What an impact ''miles away'' has on a person psychologically? Miles away may actually make ones closer to each other!  Distance, is just a misconception.

it's another theory for relationship though!

How Far would you go for LOVE?

Last Sunday, I went to watch "The Lake House" with ar Wah, Peggy and Ellen. It was about a bizarre encounter of a couple. The couple that have never met fell in love with each other by sending letters back and forth through a magical mailbox (I called it an inmitation of "Doreamon's Drawer" since it acts as a time machine ). They were situated at different times, two years. One might think two years is not a big deal, they could have just waited, make an appointment and live happily ever after.

But sth happened and make them fall apart from each other. What happened? I am not gonna spoiled those who are planning to watch it. But it just left me wonder on how far people would go for LOVE and how long it lasts. Would anyone fall in love with a person on paper before they meet each other? (Sounds like ICQ age) They would go at length to take care that person who is not at the same year as you. 

Upon thinking that, it makes me feel more appreciative for those I love and love me. I think I am the one who wonder too far this time.......just some thoughts after movies.

Need to back date to Sunday becoz I went to din at a very 'tai' japanese restaurant with Wah. It's located at Hillwood Road (山林道) called 'tai shing' (大盛).

As Japanese food is known for its small portions, we decided to make a heck of it, so we ordered of sushi, a set of salmon sashmi, a pot, and two bowls of noodles....GOSH, the portions were so huge that we barely touched our noodles. The salmon sashmi was delicious too, it has fatty within the fat... (drooling) Plus, the price is not bad either. We shouldn't even order the two bowls of noodles at all~! Should have my next gathering with friends there...wonder who are interested~!

Great Sunday.....
